I am trying to convert out a postscript file to a PDF file.
I am using the code below.
When it comes to the save portion I end up with a blank PDF file.
Any ideas?
Public Sub ConvertPS(ByVal PsFile As String)
Dim OutputPDF As String
Dim psReader As String
OutputPDF = Replace(UCase(PsFile), ".PS", ".PDF")
If File.Exists(OutputPDF) Then
Kill(OutputPDF)
End If
Dim objSR As New StreamReader(PsFile)
psReader = objSR.ReadToEnd
objSR.Close()
Dim PDFLibrary As QuickPDFAX0723.PDFLibrary
PDFLibrary = CreateObject("QuickPDFAX0723.PDFLibrary")
If PDFLibrary.UnlockKey("YOUR KEY HERE!") = 1 Then
Dim psO = PDFLibrary.NewPostScriptXObject(psReader)
Dim i = PDFLibrary.DrawPostScriptXObject(psO)
PDFLibrary.SaveToFile(OutputPDF)
PDFLibrary.RemoveDocument(PDFLibrary.SelectedDocument)
End If
PDFLibrary = Nothing
End Sub

Embedding raw postscript in a PDF isn't the same as converting a PS file
to a PDF. Some PDF viewers won't even show it. In general you print
such files to a PDF virtual printer of some kind or use Acrobat
Distiller / GhostScript or something equivalent on them directly.

Thanks for the reply.
I think you are saying that quick pdf will not convert a ps file to a PDF file.
I was previously using acrobat distiller com object, but after moving from 8.0 to acrobat 9.0 the distiller com object does not work correctly unless the user running the command is actually logged into the terminal server. Under 8.0 it didn't require that.
